Wang Xu said: "Today, we have the imperial capital, Guxi, Qingyuan, Bao'an, Hexi, five counties, nine counties in the world, has monopolized five of them, plus the snow county, we already have six counties, no longer afraid of any forces, grain, grass, equipment, resources, etc. are also inexhaustible; From now on, we will build our army for several years, and after that, we will dominate the world! ”

As soon as these words came out, a sense of pride rose in the hearts of everyone above the Golden Palace, after so many years of fighting, such a result was finally achieved, and the day when the world was peaceful was not far away.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to wrinkle."

Wang Xu looked at the person who spoke, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Lin, please speak." ”

Lin Yanghao said: "Your Majesty, since taking over the household department, Weichen has not dared to slack off, these days have been consulting various files, and the minister found that the previous Shangshu Wenqing had embezzled a number of sums of silver, as much as tens of millions, and two silver in the household department, and suffered a huge loss. ”

"The minister has made the account book and invites His Majesty to read it."

As he spoke, Lin Yanghao took out a copy of the fold from his cuffs, Zhang Rong went down and took it up, Wang Xu looked at it casually, and threw it on the table: "I already know about this matter, Wen Qing's matter, let's press it for the time being, how to deal with him, I still have to think about it." ”

Sun Yu came out: "Your Majesty, Wen Qing led the troops to rebel, and now he is fighting in Wu County, the last general asks for orders, leads the troops to capture and kill, and within a month, the last general guarantees to conquer Wu County, take Wen Qing and return to the imperial capital to ask for the guilt." ”

"General Sun is certainly brave, but you don't need to make a move, press it in advance, and discuss it later."

Wang Xu avoided talking about it, and everyone was very puzzled, even Han Shushu didn't understand what Wang Xu meant.

It stands to reason that Wang Xu hated the kind of rebel the most, when he was in Bao'an County, he wanted to lead the whole army back to hunt and kill Wen Qing, and now, Bao'an County has been pacified, and hundreds of thousands of troops are on standby in the imperial capital, this is the best time to capture and kill Wen Qing, but Wang Xu is not busy at this time. Why is that?

Han Shushu knows what Wang Xu means best, and he has a guess in his heart, perhaps, Wen Qing is not rebellious. Maybe attacking Wu County was Wang Xu's intention?

This is just speculation and cannot be confirmed at this time.

Wang Xu waved his hand: "If you have any political affairs, send them to the imperial study, and disperse the dynasty." ”

Wang Xu got up and turned to leave.

Everyone in the main hall looked at each other.

..。。

The Imperial Study.

Ye Xiong rushed over.

"Your Majesty. Wen Qing wrote that within half a month, Wu County must be conquered, and at present, Gao Quan has withdrawn from the army, and only more than 30,000 remnants of Gu Li are holding on to Wu County, and facing the attack of Wen Qing's more than 200,000 troops, he guesses that the war will soon be calmed down. ”

Wang Xu paused and asked, "Do you think Wen Qing will hand over Wu Jun?" Confess to the imperial capital? ”

Ye Xiong frowned: "Doesn't Your Majesty have confidence?" ”

Wang Xu shook his head, she really doesn't have so much confidence now, Wen Qing now wants soldiers and soldiers, grain and grain, and a chassis and territory, and he can be completely self-reliant, with his intelligence, as long as he works hard, maybe even Nanjun can fight, and then replace Hu Guo.

In this case. Will he really come to the imperial capital to confess his guilt?

Wang Xu asked himself, if it were him, he would never give up everything, and would rather lead the army to rebel. I won't go back to the imperial capital to die!

"If it is willing to give up everything, I will forgive him all his guilt and use him again, but if he is self-reliant. In less than a month, I will be able to capture it, and he will surely die! ”

Wang Xu said.

Ye Xiong smiled: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. Just Wenqing, what are you afraid of, my holy court soldiers are serious, don't say it's him, even if you eliminate the high power, you will have more than enough. ”

"You can't say that, you can't underestimate high power."

Wang Xu said: "Since I have already said that I want to rest and recuperate, I will not change the policy, from now on, it is best not to use troops unless it is absolutely necessary." ”

"In a few years, when our strength reaches its peak, that is, we will dominate the world."

Ye Xiong said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, we will wait for Wen Qing to see how he behaves." ”

...

Eastern Capital.

Not long after Yang Mingyue returned to the palace, he received a letter from the imperial capital, asking Dongdu to exchange 300,000 loads of military rations plus 50 million silver in exchange for Yu Yuan, otherwise, Yu Yuan would be beheaded by the Yangtze River and sentenced to death!

"Shameful, hateful!"

In the lobby of the house, Yang Mingyue said.

"Prime Minister, how should we deal with it, should we change it or not?"

Yang Mingyue said angrily: "This is almost half of the number in my Eastern Capital Warehouse, don't change it!" ”

"That..."

"What are you talking about, what the prime minister said, just don't change, see what he can do with me, do you dare to fight across the river?"

Yang Mingyue knew very well in his heart that although he was defeated, he still had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and more than 300,000 sailors had not moved at all, if Wang Xu dared to come, he was confident that he would repel them.

"Newspaper."

Suddenly, a soldier ran into the lobby.

"What's so alarming?"

The soldier's face turned pale and murmured, "Prime Minister, Your Majesty. His Majesty has died. ”

What the?

Yang Mingyue was shocked, got up and said, "Let's go, go to the palace." ”

"Prime Minister, what should General Yu do?"

Yu Yuan turned around and said, "Don't deal with it, see how they deal with it, hum." ”

"No."

..。

The death of the emperor of the Eastern Capital has undoubtedly become a major event in the world, which also means that the Yellow Power of the Eastern Capital is about to change hands, after the emperor is buried, the throne is taken by the crown prince Zhou Xie, Yang Mingyue is still the pillar of the country, and he still controls the overall situation of the Eastern Capital.

On this day, Yang Mingyue received a message that drove him crazy.

Wang Xu was so shameless that he sent people to spread the news in the counties of the Eastern Capital, especially in the army, and the general content of the news was that Yu Yuan was a general in the Eastern Capital, and now he was captured, and Yang Mingyue actually abandoned it, etc.

Such news is particularly unfavorable to Yang Mingyue.

"Shameless!"

After thinking about it for a few days, he finally compromised, but the price was reduced by a small point.

Changing 300,000 grain and grass into 200,000, and 50 million silver into 30 million, Wang Xu fortunately accepted this, he was already content to get so much grain, grass and silver, if he didn't know how to advance or retreat, I am afraid he wouldn't even get this.

The matter of the Eastern Capital has come to an end.

Wen Qing fought in Wu County for a month, and finally conquered Guli, who was besieged by thousands of troops and died of exhaustion. was chopped into meat pies by Wen Qing's soldiers, and only the head was cut off and prepared to be sent to the imperial capital.

At this point, Kure County was completely occupied. Wen Qing assigned soldiers to all counties in Wu County, especially Nanjun, and sent a large number of soldiers to garrison it in case Gao Quan suddenly attacked.

At this time, in the royal city of Wu County, Wen Xiaoyun and Wen Qing, father and son, sat opposite each other.

"Father. Do you really want to go back to the imperial capital to confess your guilt? ”

Wen Qing said: "Do you think I'm just talking? ”

Wen Xiaoyun said: "I don't think there is any need for that, we now have nearly 300,000 troops, and we have occupied the entire Wu County, we have just won the battle, and even the high power is afraid of three points, we can stand on our own, why bother to send people under the fence?" ”

Wen Qing smiled coldly: "If you said this ten years ago, I would definitely listen to it, now. There is no need for that, Wang Xu has become the climate. Don't say that we have 300,000, even if we have 1 million, they are not his opponents, rather than being defeated, it is better to go to the imperial capital to ask for guilt, with my understanding of him, as long as we are sincere, he will not embarrass us. ”

"But, father, are you willing?"

"What am I unwilling to do."

Wen Qing said: "Even Cai Wenzhuo, Dongdu, and others are not Wang Xu's opponents, they are all willing." Why should we wade into these troubled waters? ”

"Besides, we have Ling Feng in our hands, that is the person Wang Xu wants to see the most, this is another great credit. Even if we don't get any reward, at least we won't be blamed by Wang Xu anymore. ”

"But..."

Wen Qing waved his hand: "You don't need to say it, I have made up my mind, you go and pack up, and tomorrow morning, go to the imperial capital with me to ask for guilt." ”

"Hey."

Wen Xiaoyun sighed. Eventually exit the lobby.

He was really unwilling, and it was not easy to achieve such a result, but in the end he had to give it to others, which is really regrettable.

Looking at Wen Xiaoyun's departing back, Wen Qing smiled to himself: "Young and vigorous, I don't know the overall situation of the world at all, what is the calculation of the 300,000 army, and relying on Wang Xu is the right way." ”

I have to say that Wen Qing's eyes are vicious, and what he said is quite meaningful.

Early the next morning, the two fathers and sons set off for the imperial capital, and on this trip, the two only brought fifty elite heavy horses, as well as Ling Feng, and Gu Li's head, and the rest, nothing was brought.

This is enough to show the sincerity of the two, which shows that they are sincerely loyal to Wang Xu.

On the day when the two of them left the royal city of Wujun, Wang Xu received the news, and immediately, he calculated the time on time, and personally went out of the city to greet him on the day Wen Qing arrived in the imperial capital.

In the distance, he saw the two of them coming on a tall horse, and when Wen Qing saw Wang Xu, he immediately dismounted and walked on foot.

"Sinner Minister Wenqing, bow to Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Lord Wen has worked hard, please get up."

Wang Xu smiled and helped the two up, at this moment, Wang Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, Wen Qing still did not disappoint him after all, and finally came to ask for guilt.

"Lord Wen, please, I have already set up a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty please first."

One after the other, the monarchs and ministers entered the imperial capital, entered the inner city, entered the palace, and finally sat down at the banquet.

"Okay, you all stand down, this banquet is set up by me for Lord Wen, and you are not qualified to enjoy it."

Wang Xu said.

After saying this, all the ministers at the banquet, including Huang Quan, Jia Hui and others, retreated, leaving only Wang Xu, Wen Qing and Wen Xiaoyun left, oh yes, and Zhang Meng also stayed, he was responsible for protecting Wang Xu's safety.

There were only four people left in the room, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Wang Xu looked at the food on the table and said, "Lord Wen, please, this is specially prepared by me for you, but I can't pay for my kindness." ”

Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?

Wen Qing instantly had a doubt, and Wen Xiaoyun on the side was also unusually worried, this is too much like the Hongmen Banquet, originally many officials were here, but they were all blown away by Wang Xu, and now there are only four people left, and Wang Xu let the two eat first, this food must be poisonous.

Wen Xiaoyun paused and said: "With Your Majesty present, how can there be any reason for us to eat first, or Your Majesty will invite you first." ”

As soon as Wen Xiaoyun said this, Wen Qing was startled, and hurriedly stopped: "Talkative." ”

Looking at Wang Xu, Wen Qing said, "Your Majesty, the criminal minister obeys the order." After speaking, Wen Qing drank all the wine in the cup.

"Father..."

Wen Xiaoyun shouted in surprise. (To be continued.) )
